The first personal ornament of the present invention is constituted of an ornament base article made of a metal or the like; an underlayer, preferably non-nickelic, formed on the base article; and a coloring layer constituted of an abrasion-resistant layer of 0.2-1.5 mu m thick formed by dry-plating on the surface of the underlayer and an outermost layer of 0.002-0.1 mu m thick formed by dry-plating on the surface of the abrasion-resistant layer. The coloring layer is a white hard coating film of a stainless-steel color. This ornament has a white coating film which gives superior quality, having high scratch resistance, not causing deterioration of appearance by scratching, and yet has high-quality image like a stainless steel film. The ornament having underlayer which does not contain nickel will not cause nickel metal allergy, and has a white coating film which gives superior quality , having high scratch resistance, not causing deterioration of appearance by scratching, and yet has high-quality image like a stainless steel film. <??>The second personal ornament of the present invention is constituted of the aforementioned ornament base article; an underlayer formed on the base article; a titanium carbide layer of 0.5-1.0 mu m thick formed by dry-plating on the surface of the underlayer; and an ornamental coating layer of 0.03-0.06 mu m thick formed from platinum (alloy) by dry-plating on the surface of the titanium carbide layer. The ornamental coating layer is constituted of a hard white film having a platinum (alloy) color.
